What would your reaction be if you found out that Michael Phelps uses steroids?

Question

I'm not saying he is, I support him and I don't think he uses steroids. But how would you react if you found out on the news that Michael Phelps uses steroids?

Answer 1

i would be shocked. i support him even though im a NZer. there was an interview on tv last night with a drug tester and the reporter ask " is michael phepls clean?" and the drug tester guy said " 100% he just a freak of nature" which is true lol

Answer 2

Disappointed that such an inspiration had to resort to doing something like that. Same way I felt about Marion Jones.  

Answer 3

Ha ha,are you kidding me or what?

Phelps is the latest achievement of American chemical Industry.

His nick name is Steroid man.

Do you really think it is possible for normal human being to swim and won in so many strong races in just couple of days?

Answer 4

I would be sooo dissapointed, I would commit suicide...

rofl ok not THAT much. But you know, my respect for him would be lost. I'd probably laugh hysterically at Debbi Phelps lmfao

Answer 5

My heart would shatter. Seriously. :)

Haha I completely agree with you about the question though. People need to calm down. It's just something to discuss. If you don't wanna talk about it, don't answer it. Jeezzzz

Answer 6

I would probably be like "OMG WTF? NUUUUUUUU." But yes, some of the people above are right. Bringing this up, even if it's a question, can turn into rumor real quick, especially for illiterate people, who read questions wrong.

Answer 7

Americans don't cheat.

foreigners always cheat because they can't beat us

Answer 8

No reaction,just feel sorry for him he has to resort to steroids to win

Answer 9

I would think that he was an absolute idiot for taking drugs. I would feel sorry for him but hate him as well because then he was obviously desperate enough to win by spoiling other people's Olympic campaigns.

But then again, Phelps doesn't take steroids and I don't think he ever will.

Answer 10

I would wonder what was going on with all of those tests that they do before each even to prove that the he wasn't on steroids.

Answer 11

If he was competing in cycling, track, or baseball and dominating like he is then everyone would assume that he was on something.  Period.

You either believe Lance was clean or Phelps is not.  

To your direct question.....how would people feel?  I thought this place was to get real answers to real questions.  

Answer 12

It wouldn't surprise me. I am not blind to the fact that anything's a possibility. Floyd Landis, the guy who won the Tour de France was later discovered to have been on steroids & stripped of his title.

Answer 13

I wouldn't have a reaction..because he dosen't. Why even post a question about what if he uses steroids? even if you think he dosen't it's pretty stupid to post a question like this..I'm just saying.

Answer 14

I wouldn't be too surprised.

Answer 15

I would probably have a few different reactions-

Shock because so many previous tests have shown that he hasn't used them.  He has such an good attitude that I would never suspect it.

Anger because he has inspired so many and so many look up to them and he would have set a terrible example.  I would also be angry because he would have just confirmed everything the rest of the world wants to be true, and I think he's better than that.  

Disappointment because I've been rooting for him and I don't root for cheaters.

I would feel bad for all of the silver medalists because they wouldn't get the ceremonial recognition that he received.

Answer 16

I doubt he does, he knows how bad it would be.  But I think if he did, it would be a disagrace.

Answer 17

I might cry. :( He's amazing. And that would kill me. I'd be disappointed in him.

Answer 18

i think i would kind of feel cheated to be honest.

but its not really a win if you cheated right?

Answer 19

I would think back to marion jones and all the hype around her until they found out she cheated.

Answer 20

why even bring on the subject. u just want to start something?? if he used roids then he should be caught soon or shoulve been caught already. i think i read somewhere where they said this olympics has had the most tests done ever in its history.  

Answer 21

ha what a loser lol

wow americans must hate him lol

but what do you think about his 200m butterfly...his win didnt seem too believable

Answer 22

I wouldnt be surprised if he did.
